How do you do certified payroll

Is there a way to do certified payroll with the online version? A Rep told me you can not.  He also was supposed to have a manager call me back which never happened.  He was very willing however to help me cancel my membership.  So frustrated.  If not how can I download reports to Excel with the info?

How do you do certified payroll

I comprehend how important it is for you to have the ability to run a certified payroll to track your employees' wages, @cvidevelopment.

 

Running certified payroll reports is unavailable in QuickBooks Online (QBO). Alternatively, you can utilize a Time Cost by Employee and Payroll Summary Report to get the data you need to process for the Certified Payroll Report

 

Here's how to pull up Time cost by employee:

 

  1. Go to the Left panel and click the Project menu.
  2. Click a Project/customer to open the All Project page.
  3. Select the Project Reports tab, then select Time Cost by employee or vendor.

  4. Tap the View link to see the data.
  5. To tailor the information, click the Customize button.
  6.  To download the report, tap the Export menu in the upper right.
  7. Perform the same process to get the remaining data for your other employees.

 

To pull up the Payroll Summary Report:

 

  1. Go to the Reports menu on the left panel and enter Payroll Summary by Employee in the Find report by name field.

  2. You can use the Date Range drop-down to filter the period.
  3. Once done, hit the Run Report button.
  4.  To download the report, tap the Export menu in the upper right.
